EASY PIECES | 2017 (Pró-Posição Group)
SYNOPSIS
Fifth scenic partnership between the awarded artist Janice Vieira (80 years old) and her daughter, Andréia Nhur, Peças Fáceis (Easy Pieces) results from the collaborative creation project Easy Pieces-Sonorouschoreographic Platform. The work proposes a study of dance and music based on baroque music by Bach and Petzold. In this creation, mother and daughter dance, sing and play instruments in a proposition named "sonorouschoreography". From mutual musical memories, movement and sounds are produced in the same time dimension, sometimes by a voice discharge which is danced gesture, sometimes by an instrument propulsion which is body.
"Peças Fáceis (Easy Pieces) verticalizes, in Pró-Posição Company's trajectory,
the studies about memory and gesture (of dance and music),
bringing them from the scale of history to the scale of culture and, at the same time,
highlighting, in Andréia and Janice's dance, a polyphony spiced up with humor and lightness.
Now, this dance regurgitates the bitten references, weaving itself into a baroquisme of preciosities.
(KATZ, Helena, 2017, translated quote)"
